Prime Rib vs Applebees Steak

I've had Magnificent 7 sitting on my laptop now for about 3 months. I just finished watching Westworld and figured I'd keep with the western theme and finally watch Magnificent 7. Not in any way comparing the two as they are two totally different genres and stories BUT...imagine you go to the best steakhouse in town and order the prime rib...and then an hour later you go to Applebee's and order a steak...I'll let you figure out which one of these two is which. Aside from some beautiful landscape shots and set design, Magnificent 7 is a complete bust. How this was the premier at TIFF blows my mind. If you want to see a real Denzel film, go see Fences.

Prime Rib is at a Supperclub. It's usually either over or undercooked and often has tons of extra fat.

Often, the best steak is at the worst restaurant. All you need is the right cook. Best prime rib I ever had was cooked out of a home kitchen in the back of a resort. The worst prime rib was from a good restaurant.

The analogy doesn't match. The worst steak I've ever eaten was at Pittsburgh Blue and cost $35. Somehow, it was just simply pointless. Ordered rare, served rare, yet still nonsense.

Best steak I ever had was at my own home. Salt, pepper, 2 minutes first side on a smoking pan, 2 minutes on the other. Blow torch to char. AKA as close to actual Pittsburgh Blue as I could do.

This thread is now about steaks.

Pisanos in richmond Illinois. Best fn steak ive ever had. Kobe beef. Totally charred and candied outside. Medium rare/rare inside. It falls apart in your mouth.
